I'm not sure she's anorexic. But I mean she looks GREAT!! Are you sure losing is not an obsession? Or maybe an outlet for something you're missing in your life. I've read some of your other posts. Have you tried counseling? I think you look great like I said but losing too much weight can be just as unhealthy as too much weight. Just listen to your body.

One week out sounds dicey. You may not even feel up to it.

Okie doke!! Thanks!!

Congratulations!!! Random question though about women's clothes sizes. If I go from say a 26 to 20 did I lose 6 sizes or 3??

My husband gave me 25 dollar budget. Good luck finding a plus size for that. I'm not all about crotch sparklers. Sorry. :-/ lol.

I get epidural steroid injections in my spine for my back problems. I have one scheduled the week after my "anticipated" surgery date. Will that be ok? I left a message for my surgeon but no answer yet. I need to know soon to reschedule. Should I get it before my surgery? Steroid injections make me so Han-gry though.

Oh and it was freaking packed Tuesday when I saw the nutritionist.

I have my home sleep study set for November 4th and its two nights. If it's negative I'm good to go for surgery Thanksgiving week. If it's positive we are going to be really pushing getting it done by December 31st

Probably not...

I was just told no juice as well. Empty calories and too much sugar. However, I got a sample of the orange creamcicle protein drink they have. I'm going to drink it tomorrow for breakfast.

I know I'm female but I was just talking about this with my friend this weekend as the reason I can't wear head bands lol!

The interwebz. Unjury.com

Unjury chicken flavored protein powder is nice. It just has to be below 140 degrees or it gets clumpy.

I weighed myself Sunday I was 290. Today I was 287. Lol.

That's a great idea!!

I need my surgery date to get here before I talk myself out of this. I watched surgery videos on YouTube and other peoples stores after surgery. Especially this woman with a failed sleeve. Apparently they made her sleeve too big or something and she lost like 40 lbs in a year so she had a revision to by pass. I feel like all surgery revisions end up to a by pass. Should I just get the by pass instead of the sleeve? I was really interested and excited about the sleeve and the lack of malabsorption etc. but now I'm not so sure.

Sometimes we get sooooo caught up in what we think is a magic cure and when it turns out it doesn't work we can feel hopeless and suicidal like with antidepressants. I found it fascinating that a lot of people with Schizophrenia with hearing voices will commit suicide after they are medicated due to missing the voices. Other people antidepressants can clear their minds enough to decide on suicide and make them impulsive. That's the theory in my field though. I can totally see someone being so unhappy they think it's related to their weight. They get the surgery and lose weight and are still unhappy. That can definitely lead to suicide.

This whole Birth control thing is reeeally stressing me out. Aren't you more fertile after weight loss? I can't have a baby. I just can't. And not after WLS. I hear of people on here getting pregnant a few months out from surgery.

Try simple brains tasks every day. In the mental health profession that's our suggestion. That's the best thing you can do for present and future brain health. But definitely could be nutrient related or lack of calories. When I'm hungry I don't even know my own name sometimes. Like if my clients name is Sara I'll be like "hi I'm Sara" then they are like "cool so am I" then I'm like no wait it's Tracy lol. Then they lose confidence in me and want to leave lol.

I'm going to Cheesecake Factory the night before my liquid diet. It's already planned lol. That slice of cheesecake is mine.

Anyone have any good baby food ideas? Lol. My nutritionist suggested that if I struggle with other things in the pureed stage. Can I make my own? Like carrots and sweet potatoes and stuff?

So overwhelmed by the nutritionist appointment and fighting with the sleep study place and come to find out I have to wait until the first week of November to just have my home sleep study. Then if I have sleep apnea I have to have a lab study and who knows how long that will take and then wear my cpap for 30 days before surgery. I'll be lucky if we make it to the end of the year. Unless I don't have sleep apnea then everything is ok and all this stress is for nothing lol. Oh and all those Protein shakes I have and like (premiere protein), can't use them pre op because she wants me to have 5 shakes a day and they have too much protein in those shakes. Theirs are waaaay too expensive to buy. I'm gonna have to figure some thing out. Thoughts on lower Protein Shakes?

God I need a good replacement for pizza. Pizza has been my weakness this whole pre op process.

OMG you poor thing.

I meet with the nutritionist today too.
